OK, I'm going to round off Part 1 of this collection with photos from a one-off event, held on the Waiouru military airstrip in the early 1970s.
Following this will be a series of photos from Ardmore in 1972.
Starting off here are a couple of fast Fords. The Boss 302 Mustang is that of Doug Harris. Not sure though who is in the Falcon GT.

Note the Keystone wheels on the Falcon GT in the background. They must have been quite rare in NZ at the time?

Gus Burke's Topolino. Gus established Burkes Metal Works in Christchurch back in the late 1950s, which is still going strong today. Gus' son Jason heads the business now and is chip off the old block, producing some amazing work.
